Kaspersky researchers made a decryptor tool and released it for free. Then CryptXXX 2.0 appeared. The improved ransomware successfully damaged many companies and home users, businesses, schools, and unfortunatelly hospitals. Kaspersky ‘s team fought back with an improved version of tool. However a new variant CryptXXX 3.0 came into being.

Cryp1 is a crypto-virus ransomware. In other words, it reproduces itself like a human virus, trying to infect more and more users; then asks for money to be paid in order to restore encrypted files. As already mentioned above, its real name is UltraCrypter. Circling the Web is the name Cryp1, which has gained more popularity. People have named it so, because of the extension it places on files – .cryp1.

UltraCrypter actually goes by many names and the most popular are:

Cryp1 Ransomware, Crypt1 Ransomware, Crypt Ransomware, UltraCrypter, UltraDeCrypter, CryptXXX 3.0 (ver. 2)

Once everything is coded you will be greeted by an html file named (Hex code ID).html, where the file name is random. The name is created out of the hexadecimal values formed by the malware in each infected computer.

The file has different hyperlinks and a different version of the sites, which probably either redirect or the cyber criminals have bought a multitude of domains. An example of the file in question contains the following:

All your files are encrypted.

ID: [Your personal computer ID]

http://eqyo4fbr5okzaysm.onion(.)to
http://eqyo4fbr5okzaysm.onion(.)cab
http://eqyo4fbr5okzaysm.onion(.)city

Download and install tor-browser https://torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

TorLink: http://eqyo4fbr5okzaysm(.)onion

Write down the information to notebook (exercise book) and reboot the computer.

The criminals are hoping that the surprise of loosing all your files will shock you and you will pay them the ransom. However this is not a good idea, for a couple of reasons.

• Paying money to cyber criminals only encourages them to get better at their craft and extort even more people.
• You are not guaranteed in any way that your files will be decrypted successfully if you make the payment.
• There is absolutely no reason to pay until you’ve tried all the free methods first.
• Antimalware and Antivirus companies are constantly developing their products to fight the bad guys

Attention! You should be aware that all of your accounts and passwords were likely compromised. Viruses are designed to collect every piece of private information. We advise you to change all your passwords, once you clean your computer, especially if you make online banking or shopping.
